Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. See "Disposal of your old appliance" for further details.

Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not use the appliance to heat up food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding. Do not store cooked food in the oven. The moisture in the food can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not use metallic containers or utensils in the oven which are likely to rust. This can cause corrosion. Use the descaling tablets supplied with the appliance (see "Optional accessories" for reordering details) or a proprietary citric acid based descaling agent to descale the appliance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Do not place heavy objects on the open door. The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. The appliance is designed in such a way that there will always be a little residual water left in the water container after use. If there is no residual water, there is something wrong. Call the Service Department.
Protection from burning and scalding
For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. When putting cooking containers or the condensate tray into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven interior walls. Danger of burning and scalding. Take care not to tip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.

Practical tips

Suitable containers
Some stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras. When choosing the most suitable container for the particular food you are cooking, please note: Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible, e.g. for vegetables. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly. With large items of food, such as whole potatoes, the steam can work effectively because there are spaces between the individual pieces into which the steam can penetrate. This way a large quantity will take the same time to cook as a smaller amount and large, deep containers can be used. Where possible, space the food out to allow the steam more room. More compact dishes such as casseroles or bakes, or food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or no space between them, will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. The fuller the container, the longer it will take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than one deep one for these types of foods, and then fill them only 3-5 cm deep. Cooking durations quoted are calculated on this principle. Deeper dishes will take longer to cook.

Tips on steaming In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. Steam prevents food from drying out so it remains moist, and juices are not lost. This applies to a wide variety of food, including dumplings, steam puddings, fish and meat dishes, as well as vegetables. You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. Food does not brown or get crisp from over-cooking. It is gently steamed, and not roasted or baked. Cheese melts perfectly without getting burnt. It is a healthy way of cooking, and it brings out the distinct flavour of the food. When cooking frozen food, e.g. vegetables, ensure that any large clumps frozen together are broken up first so that they cook evenly. The cooking duration is approximately the same as for fresh vegetables. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. Frozen fish should be partially defrosted before cooking. We recommend using the "Defrost" function (see "Defrosting" for more information). Cooking with steam retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. Therefore food should not be seasoned until after it has been cooked. Only fill solid containers 3/4 full with liquid. Dried foods like pasta and rice must be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be well covered with liquid. With pulses, grains, parboiled rice, basmati rice and wild rice, the proportion of food to liquid should be 1:1, with brown rice 1:1.5 and risotto rice 1:2. When cooking noodles, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration. Cooking liquids do not boil away. They are either absorbed by the food, as with rice and pasta, or they remain in the dish to form a sauce, as with casseroles. The sauce can then be thickened or added to after cooking. You can thicken sauces in the steam oven by adding flour and butter to liquid (40 g flour and 40 g butter to 0.5 litres liquid).
Grease perforated containers beforehand if using them to cook fish, and solid containers if using to cook dishes containing eggs. When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a perforated container, place the container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any transfer of tastes or colour to other food. Yeast dough can be put in the oven to prove. Select Cook Universal and reduce the recommended temperature to 40 C. Cover the dough. The weight entry in the Automatic programmes refers to the weight per piece. The setting and therefore the cooking duration is the same whether cooking only one 250 g piece of salmon or ten 250 g pieces at the same time.

Reheating

Reheat function Food to be reheated Vegetables Cauliflower, runner beans Carrots, kohlrabi Side dishes Dumplings, potatoes (halved) Pasta, rice Meat and poultry Sliced meat 1.5 cm thick Stew Chicken schnitzel Meatballs in sauce Sliced roulade Fish Fish fillet Fish roulade, halved Plated meals Chicken fricassee with rice Roast pork with potatoes and vegetables Spaghetti with tomato sauce Soups/casseroles Casseroles Soup 4-5 2-3 3-5 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 3-5 3-5 3-5 3-5 3-5 3-4 2-2 Duration in minutes

Your steam oven is very effective at reheating dishes which have been prepared previously. Proceed as follows: ^ Place the food on a flat plate and cover it with a deeper plate or some heat-resistant foil. ^ Select Reheat 100 C. ^ Select the duration (see chart) and confirm your selection.
Useful tip: If sauces are to be served separately, reheat them in a covered dish on their own.
You will find some more suggestions in the Automatic menu.

Frozen food can be defrosted in this appliance in much less time than when defrosting at room temperature. Proceed as follows: ^ Place the food in a suitable container or on the rack. ^ Select Defrost 60 C. ^ Change the recommended temperature if necessary (see chart) and confirm your selection. ^ Select the defrost time (see chart) and start the programme. Tips on defrosting All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. When defrosting meat or poultry place the condensate tray underneath the rack to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the tray, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning! Food which does not drip can be placed on the rack or in a dish once the wrapping has been removed. Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2 - 5 minutes at 60 C should be enough. When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc separate or break it up about half-way through the defrosting time. Allow food to stand at room temperature at the end of defrosting. This standing time (see chart) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully defrosted right through to the core. Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals according to the manufacturer's instructions. Defrost baked goods in a sealed freezer bag.

Disinfecting baby bottles
The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and other containers. Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc., are declared by the manufacturer to be heat-resistant to 100 C. Proceed as follows: ^ Place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level and place the rack above it. ^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse the bottles and space the individual parts out on the rack, ensuring that they do not touch one another. This allows the hot steam to reach them from all sides. ^ Select Cook Universal 100 C and confirm. ^ Set and confirm a duration of 15 minutes. ^ Dry thoroughly using a fresh, clean tea towel after disinfection. All parts of the bottles must be completely dry before they are reassembled to keep them germ free.

Cleaning and care

General notes
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and allow it to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning. Clean the whole appliance and then dry it thoroughly after each use. Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the door. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Do not use cleaners containing alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner or abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads and cloths or steel wool. You should also avoid using sponges etc. which have previously been used with abrasive cleaning agents, as these would damage the surface. Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use agents designed for domestic use. Do not use cleaning agents or washing up liquids containing aliphatics as these could cause the seals to swell.

Appliance front

The appliance front should be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or a mild solution of hot water with a little washing-up liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Then wipe over with clean water, and finally dry with a soft cloth. See data plate for type of front. Glass For appliances with glass fronts, a proprietary glass cleaning agent may be used. Stainless steel Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's intructions. Aluminium / Titanium These materials are susceptible to scratching and to damage from alkalis and acids. It is therefore essential to clean them with care, as described above. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on these surfaces. Soiling should be wiped off as soon as possible, as leaving it could result in the surface discolouring or altering. See "Optional accessories" for details of accessories for cleaning and care.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out. The appliance must only be operated when built-in. This is to ensure that all electrical parts are shielded. Live parts must not be exposed. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply via an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. Please ensure that the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit or fused plug and switched socket which complies with national and local safety regulations and the on/off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in. If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA. When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the isolator switch (including switch, fuses and relays).
